404 error after install

Trailou

Hello,

I've just installed Flarum on my shared hosting via ssh. I can access to the main page, but I can't start a discussion or go to the admin page : I got a 404 error.
The .htaccess file is correctly uploaded in the flarum folder.
I have another .htaccess file in parent folder with functional URL rewriting :

Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|forum/|assets/|uploads/|captcha|robots\.txt|google1f4496283e030410.html)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

My forum is installed in the folder forum/flarum.

Can you help me to solve this problem ?

Thanks (and sorry for my bad english...)

Trailou please view this thread to find a probable cause.

When exactly do you get the 404 error? When trying to visit an already created discussion?

When starting a discussion, what kind of error do you get? It's highly unlikely that you get a 404 there. Please check out your browser's console and post any errors that may be mentioned there.

Thanks for your quick answer.
I have the 404, for example, when i want to admin the forum.
When I try to post (http://tracedetrail.fr/forum/flarum/api/discussions), I have also a 404 error.
Same thing when I want to logout :
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://tracedetrail.fr/forum/flarum/logout?token=0KmWbx0MZxZDIeuyUCzXa2OKFwYZr7Sc5CtqvkAR"

luceos, I already read this page and everything I found on the forum, but it doesn't help me.

You can access to the forum here : http://tracedetrail.fr/forum/flarum

Your rewrites are not working. The thread I linked should fix it.

I have a shared web hosting and I can't change apache configuration web server :

But with the .htaccess I pasted in my first post (in a parent folder), the url rewriting is ok.

You can check the phpinfo.pho here :

Trailou that isn't that helpful it doesn't list the rewrites in effect on that folder. Maybe @wackyMole , @Kulga or has more thoughts.

Ok, here's the deal. Your RewriteBase / in the parent directory is likely the culprit. It basically tells the rewrite engine to rewrite all paths relative to /.

You can test this in one of two ways. Remove the line from the parent directory's .htaccess file (which will likely break your site), or add RewriteBase /forum/flarum (as far as I can tell) to the beginning of the one in the flarum directory, right after RewrteEngine On.

wackyMole would you mind suggesting an edit to my 404 solving thread? So that we can identify it as a probably root cause? 🙂 Tnx, I expected you to know other causes.

Trailou

Yes ! good job... It's ok after adding RewriteBase /forum/flarum to the .htaccess in the flarum directory...

Thanks for your help !
